Family Fun Factory
So what do you do when you have 19 relatives for Easter. They range from their 80's to toddlers with lots of adults and kiddos in between. It is rainy and cold out and you are in Branson, Missouri. It needs to be economical because you are picking up the bill for them all.
Answer: You go to the Branson Family Fun Factory. For a pittance, you get to play lazer tag (the 60 year olds were running around with the kids shooting each other). Afterwards everyone (and I do mean everyone) goes and plays miniature indoor Glow in the Dark golf.
The Branson Family Fun Factory is located where The Butterfly Place used to be. It is near the Welk Campagne Theater on Highway 165.
Here is the address:
Branson Family Fun Factory
2400 State Hwy. 165

Telephone: 417-332-2110
It is open Fridays -5-10 p.m.
Saturday-noon-10 p.m.
Sunday-noon-5 p.m.
Pictures are posted above. It is great fun!

Baldknobbers Jamboree Show
The Baldknobbers is the oldest show in Branson begun by the Mabe brothers in 1959. Numerous relatives of the original Mabes are still in the show.
The Baldknobbers were a vigilante group in the Branson area in the 1880s and wore sack over their heads (hopefully with the eyes cut out).
The Baldknobbershow centers about country and western music and comedy. It is located on Highway 76 (the main drag) and is located on the otherside of the street from the Grand Palace.
The comedy is clean and has the country slapstick comedy of Stub Meadows, Hargis Marcel, and Droopy Drawers (Tim Mabe).
The singing is great and the lead singers and band are superb. There is a portion of the show that is patriotic ("Stand up if you were in this branch of the service). Also there is some gospel music at the end which is even as good or better than the country music.
My grandson's school choir was doing the pre-show. I planned on staying a few minutes into the show, then I planned on leaving at half-time (intermission in showbusiness), next I planned on leaving just before it was over. Well it never happened. I watched it to the bitter end.
It was enjoyable (to my great surprise) and I would not hesitate recommending it to others.

Record on the Ceiling
Copyright E. Jett 2007This is a record on the ceiling at Dick Clark's on 76 Highway in Branson, Missouri.
Dick Clark's Grill-Bandstand
Copyright E. Jett 2007Do you remember American Bandstand? We do. You can experience it again at Dick Clark's Grill in Branson.
Be careful or you may be shedding your shoes and going to the hop.
Who knows you could be doing the bop with the Big Bopper or the Twist with Chubby Checker while waiting for your food.
Dick Clark's Grill
Copright E. Jett 2007On 76 across from Dixie Stampede is Dick Clark's Grill.
Drop in for a sandwich and some dessert. Watch the old Dick Clark programs and have a blast!
Patch ' 57 Collection
Copyright E. Jett 2007At Dick Clark's is also the Patch collection of 1957 cars. Outside is a wonderful 1957 Limo that is part of the collection.
Dick Clark's
Copyright E. Jett 2007We had lunch at Dick Clark's. Get the Cheeseburger. The desserts are to die for. Allegedly they are done by a chef who studied under Julia Child.
We had the bread pudding. It will serve four. We heard rumors about the apple pie. We suggest you try it.
Eat up and enjoy.
